Tour Description For
Your Auction Catalogue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 6 Hour Private
Wine Tour of the North Willamette Valley for 6 or 12 Persons --
My Chauffeur is a
small boutique wine tour company offering the highest level of
luxury service and quality in wine and culinary travel. As wine
educators, we try to make our programs educational while keeping the
atmosphere light and fun. Our primary goal is to make the world of
Oregon wine and cuisine accessible, understandable and enjoyable for our
guests, while providing a private, relaxing, luxurious, and authentic
experience of traveling in Oregon. And we mean REAL luxury. Only the
finest cuisine and the best estates we will visit if you wish. And a
roomy, deluxe, air conditioned limousine stocked with refreshments (not
a 9 passenger minibus for 8 guests and a driver - that's not our idea of
luxury or comfort). At all the estates we visit, you'll receive a warm
welcome and a personalized tasting. In some cases, you will tour the
technical facilities (vat room and aging cellars) in addition to your
tasting. Many times, we go out into the vineyard and the estate
representative will discuss vineyard management and harvesting.
Whenever possible, the tour is led by the cellarmaster, enologist, or
owner of the estate. Our guests often marvel at how unique each
estate visit is. At one estate, you might see an ancient wine
brotherhood display; at another, there will be beautiful gardens; at a
third, a special art exhibit. The tasting can be extensive and can
include barrel samples* of the latest vintage and/or bottles of recent
or older vintages. We sometimes taste in the aging cellar, sometimes in
the winery itself, and other times outdoors. The estate
representative will lead you through the tasting, helping you identify
aromas, tastes and overall quality. We will pick you up and drop you off
at your residence or hotel. We'll include 3-5 wineries in a
standard 6-hour tour, a lovely lunch if desired, and a
visit to a local sight of interest if you wish - your day will be
customized to include exactly what you want.
